Abstract

In 2020, the novel coronavirus pneumonia spread and raged around the world as a major unconventional emergency. The emergency supply chain management, which was not noticed by people, began to enter the vision of decision-makers. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is a key part of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Jingdong, for example, illustrates how Jingdong constructs its emergency supply chain, with a view to providing some suggestions and references for the emergency supply chain to improve the urgent supply chain management.

Highlights

In 2020, the novel coronavirus pneumonia spread and raged around the world as a major unconventional emergency
At the same time, relying on the warehouse network layout and big data analysis covering the whole country of Jingdong Logistics, the epidemic prevention materials with high demand of customers are put in the nearest warehouse to ensure that they are delivered to customers at the fastest speed
Based on the above analysis, it can be seen that the effective implementation of emergency supply chain management of Jingdong is inseparable from the deep "internal power" of Jingdong digital supply chain

Summary

Introduction

In 2020, the novel coronavirus pneumonia spread and raged around the world as a major unconventional emergency. The development of modern information technology has brought great success to the supply chain, which makes the ability of the supply chain system to resist uncertain events is greatly challenged. Practice has proved that the implementation of effective supply chain emergency management practice is helpful for enterprises to successfully deal with unconventional emergencies. There are few studies on how to deal with unconventional emergencies by constructing emergency supply chain at the enterprise level. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is a key issue in the new supply chain. By explaining how Jingdong constructs its emergency supply chain, it hopes to provide some decision-making suggestions and references for all parties involved in the emergency supply chain, including logistics enterprises, it companies and government departments
